Using the Panasonic Q disc tray

[gizmo255]

Does anyone have pictures of the internals of the Panasonic Q. I'm thinking about picking up a non functioning Q if I could somehow use the disc/laser assembly from the Q and use it with the GCN. I can't find where it was posted but somewhere in here there was a link to a GCp concept that looked like a GBA SP and had a front loading CD mechanism, but I want to build mine along those lines. Now I just need to find a cheap non functioning Q

edit2: So far it looks like the DVD drive goes through the Panasonic DVD motherboard first I might look into modifying my original GC laser assembly instead

the panasonic reader would probably just use more power and that design is kinda impractical for a GCp unless you want it to be huge
but if you want it to be kinda like a laptop i guess it would be able to have a big battery too

it doesnt look compatable with the GCN...but if you think it is, go ahead and proove me wrong

EDIT: actually after looking over it somemore, it does look like it would be compatable........but why not try and portablelize the Q itself? Challenging, but it would be cool.

to much power consuption with that stupid screen and it probably uses more since it is also a dvd player and too much money

Yeah, I really had no interest in trying to make a portable out of the Q, I really just wanted to see how possible it would be to have a sliding tray so that the disc is inside the system. I know i could do some sort of lid for it, but I wasn't sure if the sliding mechanism might be more slim than the GCN laser.

holy hard to portablize batman and that one fake GCp is sopposed to be made of that one
